# Floatboat

> Floatboat is a desktop app for Mac and Windows that tries to be less a chatbot and more a proactive assistant, watching your calendar and work patterns to prepare for meetings and stay ahead of deadlines without you prompting it each time. It connects to a large catalog of other apps and can coordinate through Slack, Telegram, WeChat, and Feishu. The pitch is aimed squarely at solo founders and one-person companies, the people who most feel the drag of recurring admin but have no assistant to hand it to. Rather than asking you to build automations, it learns the rhythm of your work and offers to handle the repetitive pieces itself. Backed by Sequoia and Welight Capital and launched in 2025, it supports multiple underlying models and offers a free tier, which makes it easy to try before deciding whether a proactive agent actually saves more time than it costs to supervise.
